Cobalt 282
This high-quality bowrider should last a lifetime. Our test vessel, with its twin 300-hp sterndrives, had a tendency to porpoise, however.

Bottom Paints: 12-Month Checkup
The water-based Interlux Bottomkote Aqua leads the way with Excellent ratings in Florida and Connecticut. At $60 a gallon, Tarr & Wonson Copper Paint is clearly our Best Buy.

Anti-Slimers Slumping
The more expensive bottom paints with anti-slime additives such Irgarol are failing to perform as well as the cheaper paints.

Infant Life Jackets
For infants, we like the MTI Bay Bee 201-I. For 30- to 50-pound children, Mustang’s MV-3155 is clearly the best

Autopilot Shootout
In a test of four autopilots mounted on the same boat, the Nautamatic TR-1 performed flawlessly. The Simrad earns Best Buy.

Fishing Harnesses
Need a little help pulling in that big one? We recommend fishing-belt harnesses from Alutecnos and Braid.

PBR Letters/Advisor: 10/06
Letter from Nautamatic, maker of TR-1 Gladiator autopilot.
